Why should I choose UCLA Summer Programs for High School Students?

UCLA is one of the most prestigious universities in the world. It is located in a safe, residential area in suburban Los Angeles, and is the most popular of the University of California campuses. UCLA is internationally recognized for its innovative curricula, commitment to community service, and excellence in undergraduate teaching. The UCLA faculty includes Nobel Prize winners and over 300 Fulbright scholars.

Summer is the ideal time for you to become acquainted with the campus and its many resources. During the summer, the class sizes are smaller, and you can concentrate on one or two subject areas. At the same time, the campus population drops enough to allow easy access to campus resources and facilities. UCLA offers a six-million-volume library, numerous cultural centers and museums, one of the nation's finest health care complexes, and some of the world's best athletic facilities.

UCLA students study on a beautiful 419-acre campus, sixty percent of which is open land devoted to lush, green fields, tropical trees, flowers, and plants. The university is situated at the foot of the Santa Monica Mountains and nestled between the residential communities of Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Westwood, and Santa Monica--just minutes from spectacular Pacific Ocean beaches.
